Handel Gothic is a geometric sans-serif typeface.

Designed by Don Handel in the mid-1960s, and used in the 1973 United Airlines logo developed by Saul Bass, Handel Gothic was an instant success when released to the graphic design community.

However, according to Linotype, it was designed in the 1980s by Ronald Trogram. The fonts were originally distributed in film format by PhotoStar.

It was a prominent font in the 1980s due to its futuristic design and even today is used to signify the future.

Bitstream version uses a rounded downward leg on R instead of the diagonal legged R.

It is a re-proportioned version designed by Rod McDonald, released in March 2008.
